Did you know that the sport that causes the most serious injuries is football? More head injuries and deaths in youth than any other sport. Also extremely high incidence of neck and back injuries that result in paralysis. I have a friend who is a pediatric trauma specialist. He said he'd never let his kids play football with some of the things he's seen. Apparently the amount of serious injuries in youth football isn't widely reported. Let's see them try to ban football... lol Interesting comments Alex… Did you know that the sport that causes the most serious injuries is football?

Up here in the Pacific Northwest we have a medical association trying to get it banned outright. Oddly enough you don't hear these same medical professionals complain about boxing (where the fights last much longer, and there are FAR more blows to the head), hockey (240 pound men going 30mph on hard ice with 10 inch blades on their feet...) and so on... People always resist change, and MMA is one of those things that is going to struggle for another 2-3 years to truly gain mainstream acceptance.

He did well for his age, however he trains with 5-8 year old. I was surprise they had him grapple with an 11 year old, which was a lot more advance than my son. I think they should take more than weight in consideration. My son had his firs grapple match. He did well for his age, however he trains with 5-8 year old.

So many people think that MMA is all about fighting and violence, but it really teaches discipline and respect for yourself and others. Not to mention that it helps combat the obesity problem that so many kids and adults are dealing with these days. Great post.

It's time to post new articles or I will have to unsubscribe because I get angry each time I go to your feed and find this MMA post. I don't want these emotions. I’m waiting for new posts, buddy!

To have such self discipline at such a young age is a great thing. I value the eating healthy. With the fast pace of society and convenience of fast food, the fact that he is demanding healthy food is amazing. Encourage him to stick with this for the rest of his life.
